This study uses paleogenomes of dire wolves to resolve their evolutionary relationships and identify genes under diversifying selection.

This study shows that blood-derived endothelial progenitor cells and pericytes can be used to create viable cell lines faster and more reliably than fibroblasts for conservation biobanking in endangered species.

This study reconstructs the genomic history of the extinct giant deer, revealing genetic vulnerabilities linked to its extinction.

This study compares germ cell development between chicken and zebra finch using single-cell RNA sequencing, revealing distinct early germ cell types in zebra finch that are absent in chicken.

The paper introduces tfboot, an R package for statistically evaluating TFBS disruption in gene sets using bootstrapping methods.

The paper identifies convergent gene expression patterns between songbird and human vocal motor circuits, highlighting shared molecular specializations in specific brain regions.

The paper summarizes methods and lessons from assembling 16 vertebrate genomes, highlights the importance of long-read sequencing, and introduces the Vertebrate Genomes Project to generate complete reference genomes for all vertebrate species.

The paper uses transcriptome profiling to test the continuum hypothesis of avian pallium organization, finding molecular similarity between dorsal and ventral regions.

The paper uses PacBio long-read sequencing to generate high-quality, phased genome assemblies for zebra finch and hummingbird, correcting gene structure errors in neuroscience-relevant genes.
